TV Streaming series to talk about.

I think the acting is great, and I think the story will end up being great, but it is so slow in getting there.

It’s so dang slow at the beginning but it is well worth the grind and the pacing picks up tremendously in the later seasons.

Just discovered The Righteous Gemstones…it’s something.

My next door neighbor is in the church band.
Most of the band is compromised of Charlotte band The Alternative Champs.

Yep. And there was a poster on the old ZZL on IC who was the original bassist of the Champs (I don’t think he’s made his way over here).

They were originally supposed to play my wedding, but my wife (who loves their music) had second thoughts after Mike (not sure if he’s the member who’s also your neighbor) had already agreed to it. So they didn’t play.

Danny McBride’s shows have involved other Charlotte musicians as well. He co-created and co-created Eastbound & Down with Charlotte native Ben Best, who was in the Charlotte band Pyramid and also played Clegg in the show. And Charlotte’s Benji Hughes performed the song “Kenny,” which was featured in Eastbound & Down.

My neighbor isn’t in the Champs, but he knows all of them and they needed a percussionist for the show, so they asked him to join.
My neighbor has played in bands with all of those guys (save the drummer) in the past.

Doc Jensen’s E.W. recaps of Lost start about half way through season 1, and get really good by the beginning of season 2. They were difficult to find for awhile, but someone was able to collect and wayback them. They are well worth a read before, or after, each episode. I highly recommend them. Easily the best recaps of any show that I have seen, particularly if you are drawn to the philosophy side of the show.i

Delayed post here. But man - I had forgot about Doc Jensen…Lost kinda lost me toward the end a bit. But such great television for so long.

Occasionally watched the episodes at a bar in NYC… fun times

Not a series in the normal sense, but I really enjoy taskmaster.

I just watched the first season of The Horne Section TV Show it's an interesting take on his Taskmaster Personna. Imaginative fictional spinoff from a reality game show.
